If she will take steps to ban smoking in all enclosed public places and workplaces.

We have announced our decision to bring in a Bill in this Session that will end smoking in the vast Majority of workplaces and enclosed public places. A major public consultation was carried out over the summer. That has been completed, and we are considering the many thousands of responses before finalising the Bill.

I thank my hon. Friend for that reply. Is she aware that the introduction of a total ban on smoking in workplaces and enclosed public places in Wales depends on the Bill's speedy introduction and passage? May I urge her to ensure that that happens as quickly as possible, and to be bold and think of the health of the nation? In that way, she can ensure that the public and employees in Wales will have the same protection from smoke as those in areas with devolved Administrations.

We are working on that, but I am very pleased to tell the House that, for the first time, the NHS is able to provide free smoking-cessation services to help people give up. The World Health Organisation has commended England for the work being done in respect of smoking, but there is still a lot more to do. I hope that the Bill will meet some of that challenge.
